Project Types

Definition

The project types delivered with the SAP Solution Manager allow you to differentiate between different types of projects. You can use the SAP Solution Manager to create the following projects:

· Implementation Project

Implementation project based on a selection of business processes in a mySAP landscape.

There are three ways of performing an implementation project:

§ Create a project structure based on one or more user or partner scenarios as a template

§ Create a project structure based on an existing production solution landscape

§ Create a completely new project structure

The structure of an implementation project cannot be reused by other projects.

Template Project

A project to create a template.

You can base your solution on SAP, partner or global templates. When creating a template you can:

§ Change and add documentation

§ Define and add preconfigured elements such as BC Sets, test cases, or IMG activities

§ Edit the delivered scenario structure(s)

You can reuse the structure of a template project in other projects, independently of the template project in which it was created. Template projects are especially suited to SAP partner solutions or global rollout.

· Optimization project

A project to optimize the flow of business processes, or the use of a software solution.

You can use optimization projects, for example, in SAP Services.

· Safeguarding project

A project to resolve a critical situation in the implementation or use of an SAP solution.

Safeguarding projects show the reasons for a critical situation and coordinate the steps required to resolve the problems.

Integration

The project type you select for your project determines the edit options available to you in the project phases (Business Blueprint, Realization).
